Comment on Ask HN: Who started something in 2013/14 which is already profitable?

Comments

Started a UK postcode and addressing API in the midst of developing another (eventually failed) project - partly to scratch my own itch and partly because the existing offering was in a bit of a sorry state.

Was profitable within 2 months despite some idealistic pricing on my part. The feedback and kind words from my users over the past year has been incredibly humbling.

Curious about this. What does your API do? Associate addresses with postcodes and vice versa? And this is a rookie question but how are postcode different from zip codes in the US?

Interesting. We are using Post code anywhere.co.UK for a variety of projects in the UK. What's your URL?
